Okpaleke-Ortiz v. Ortiz
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 22, 2013 · Cohen, Evander, Griffin
127 So. 3d 718; 2013 WL 6122266; 2013 Fla. App. LEXIS 18568 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Okpaleke-Ortiz v. Ortiz

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The magistrate’s detailed findings of fact, which were adopted in their entirety by the trial court, were supported by competent substantial evidence. Trial courts are vested with discretion in determining an appropriate time-sharing arrangement between competing parents. Once a trial court makes this determination, an appellate court should not overturn that decision absent a clear abuse of discretion. Lowrey v. Lee, 873 So.2d 604, 605 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004). Here, we find no abuse of discretion.

AFFIRMED.

GRIFFIN, EVANDER, and COHEN, JJ., concur.
